A beating heart
Where do I search for the smiles
Hiding in a closet, with broken toys
Looking outside the window, nothing for miles
And then I catch a glimpse
A wrinkled memory fading into the distance
I hold on tight and play it on repeat
It slips through anyway
And the demons arrive with a treat
Faces in the distance call out to me
But the waves are too high and the void too deep
Everything pulls me away
Yet there’s something that makes me stay
The touch, the smell, the breath engulfs me
His smile is all the love i ever need
His hugs are all the warmth I ever want
The silence reaffirms his presence
Miles away yet in sync with my every pulse
The blinding light drives me insane
I close my eyes, and hold his hand
Resisting the life I need to feign
